MEANS FOR PACKING BUGS, ETC.

Application filed January 30, 1926. Serial No. 84,952.

The object of my invention is the provision of adequate means whereby floor rugs, etc., may be conveniently and elfectually rolled up and protected for transportation or storage substantially as hereinafter set forth, the invention consisting in the specific construction, combination, and arrangement of devices and appurtenances described and claimed whereby these and other advantageous results are attained.

In the accompanying drawings I illustrate a practical embodiment of the essential features of my invention as applied to the pro tection of a rug or analogous floor covering, although I do not limit myself to the identlcalconstruction and arrangement of parts and appurtenances shown by way of exemplification, since changes may be made in minor details, and equivalent mechanical expedients resorted to, with like results, and without departing from the spirit and intent of myinv'ention in this respect.

With this understanding Fig. 1, represents a perspective view of a rug, the edges of which are provided with a plurality of eyelets for copulative engagement with hooks on a cylindrical core rod such as shown in Fig. 2, or with hooks on the edge of a wrap sheet such as'shown in Fig. 5;

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a preferred construction of core rod;

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the rug as wound around the core rod and secured thereto by binding cords;

Fig. a, is a transverse section of the core rod taken upon plane of line H, Fig. 2;

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a preferred form of wrap sheet;

Fig. 6, is a perspective view of the rug as wound upon the core rod and ready for attachment to the wra sheet;

Fig. 7, is a perspective view of a portion of the wrap sheet as folded over an end of the rug r011;

Figs. 8. and 9, illustrate modifications in the method of securing the wrap to the rug rollf Fig. 10 is a view similar to Fig. 4, illustrating a method of detaching the core rod from the rug roll.

The cylindrical core rod C, is formed with a series of coupling hooks 0, on one side thereof, said hooks being arranged in longitudinal ali ment as related to the core rod 0, and be g p ferably countersunk therein. That is to say, each coupling hook 0, is positioned in its own recess 0, formed for the purpose in one side of the core rod as shown in Fig. 2, of the drawings, so that the hooks 0, do not project beyond the cylindrical peripheral surf-ace of said core rod O, as will be understood by reference more particularly to Fig. 4. Hence they do not impair the function of'the core rod C, for use as a substantially cylindrical roller upon and around which a rug, as B, may be wound after the hooks 0, are inserted in the coincident eyes 9, on the adjacent end of the rug.

Thus connected to the core rod 0, the rug R, may be conveniently wound around the latter, with a minimum expenditure of time and labor, and the rug roll thus attained may be held against unwinding by various expedients, as by the binding cords 0 shown in Figs. 2 and 8, as attached to the ends of the core rod C, or by the wrap sheet WV, as hereinafter set forth.

If it is desired to remove the core rod C, longitudinally from the rolled'rug R, this may readily be accomplished after the hooks 0,, 0, are released from the eyes r, r, by a retractile rotation, in whole or in part, of said core rod C, as indicated in Fig. 10, of the drawings. 7 R, to be held in stock as rolled upon the core rods C, upon the sale of a rug its core Thus, presuming the rugs rod may be extracted from the rug roll for 7 further use as a storage adjunct.

WVhether the core rod C, is retained in the rug roll R, or not, the latter may be enclosed and protected by means: of a wrap sheet WV, of suitable flexible erably both moisture and moth proof; and this wrap sheet WV, is formed with lateral extensions w, 20, which may be folded in upon the ends of the rug roll R, as indicated in Figs. 7 and 8, or gathered up and tied. by a cord as indicated in Fig. 9, of the drawings. In either case, the wrap sheet WV, is provided with buckle straps w, w, b ti irely secured around the rug roll R; and the outeredge of the latter is provided with eyesr, r, for copulative engagement with hooks 10 ,10 on the inner edge of the wrap sheet NV, this copulative arrangement of parts being illustrated in Figs. 5 and '6, of the drawings, considered conjointly.

In this connection it is to be understood 'that an alternative arrangement of copulative means may be resorted to if desired,

which the wind of wrap may be posi-- material, prefthe eyes being positioned on the core red C, and on the Wrap sheet and the hooks on the edges of the rug R; and furthermore that other and equivalent mechanical eX pedients for effecting detachable copulabe quickly and conveniently manipulated for the hooks and eyes shown in the drawings,

By the use of my core red C, a rug may be quickly; and conveniently manipulated and rolled by one person in a satisfactory manner; and by my construction and arrangement of co-related parts ample procharacter designated, "a rug {formed with eopulative means for attachment thereto, and a rap sheet and copulative means for attachment to said rug, said Wrap sheet being formed with lateral extensions, and With binding buckle straps, substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth.

2. In combination, a core rod of the character designated, formed With countersunk hooks, a rug formed on one edge with eyes for copulative engagement with said hooks, and on another edge With eyes for engagement With hooks on a Wrap sheet, and said Wrap sheet formed with lateral extensions, and With binding straps, substantially in the manner and for the pu pose set forth.
